1. Research WHS management systems (WHSMS) to determine the features for an appropriate
WHS management system to propose for Australian Hardware. Consider:
a. which policies and procedures to include
employees should avoid going to work if they are not feeling well
employees should avoid using mobile phones during work hours
smoker employees should smoke 10 meters away from the work place
employees should wear personal protective equipment (PPE) at work
c. the roles, responsibilities and accountabilities required

d. which human, physical and financial resources are required (estimate costs over first
year of implementation). See table below for costs.
Note: Two hours of training per employee has been approved relating to the new
WHSMS itself, duties, and role-specific safety training. The total approved budget is
$1 million.

To apply the Wollongong store WHS policy nationally, the title should change into ‘Australian
Hardware WHS policy and procedure’ which this can apply not only Wollongong but the whole
Australian Hardware in the country. According to the relevant legislations and standards, it
should also apply to different states of Australia not only in NWS.
3. Develop a report on the proposed WHSMS. Include: (See Next page)
a. description of the features of the proposed WHSMS, including policies and required
amendments
b. explanation of how the proposed WHSMS meets legislative requirements, including
description of duty holders (PCBU, officers, workers, etc.)
c. explanation of how the proposed WHSMS meets organisational requirements and
integrates with organisational needs, including budget.

Australian Hardware
Work Health and Safety Management System
To succeed providing and maintaining a healthy and safe work environment, it is important
that all staff are included in adopting safe work practices as part of their day to day activities. To let
the staffs achieve safe work practices, the organization must commit in developing and maintaining
a Work Health and Safety Management System.
One of the effective ways in having WHSMS is implementing and committing with the
policies. The Australian Hardware only have 2 policies which are ‘Australian Hardware (Wollongong)
WHS policy and procedures’ and Australian Hardware procurement policy. A hardware store is a big
place full of equipment, tools and chemicals that needed focus on having safe environment on the
staff which we have to add more policies in the company, which would be:
Through looking the hazards, a great way to identify and possible high risks in the work
place, the committee should provide a Safe Work Methods Standard (SWMS). A sample template is
shown on the next page.

List the work tasks in a logical order. Identify the hazards and risks that may cause harm to Describe what will be done to control the risk. What will you do to make the activity as safe as

The WHSMS has the legislative requirements as profoundly it aims to identify operations to
be done where reference to guidelines which to minimize risk of injuries. A manager of WHS unit is
responsible for ensuring the activities are implemented for identifying and monitoring all of health
and safety legislation, standards codes of practice, agreements and guidelines relevant to the
company and the supervisors are responsible for ensuring WHS legislative compliance for activities
under their responsibility.
The company obviously doesn’t hold a strong WHSMS as they only have few policies. The
organization need to be led in having safe work environment, letting them aware it is a mandatory
for every organization to set plans, actions and procedures to manage health and safety in the work
place and they needed to be trained thoroughly. As the WHMS has five key elements (based upon
the information provided in AS/NZS 4804:2001). These are as follows:
Implementation
Measurement and Evaluation
PPE 200,000
TOTAL 500,000
